Answer from AI

Besides HashMap, Java has many other collections that can be used depending on the task:

  • TreeMap — a map with sorted keys (by natural order or comparator).
  • LinkedHashMap — maintains insertion order of elements.
  • ConcurrentHashMap — a thread-safe version of HashMap for multi-threaded applications.
  • HashSet — a set based on HashMap, stores unique elements.
  • LinkedHashSet — a set that preserves insertion order.
  • TreeSet — a set with sorted elements.

The choice of collection depends on requirements for order, performance, and thread safety.
